Live out your dreams !

Preparing for a one or two hour ride along the bridle paths of the Lot, Richard selects the horses which are waiting in the shade, shaking their manes with impatience. There is Chinouc, Rocky, Jojo, Youri, Recif, Upsila, Tagada and others. Some of the riders know how to saddle their horses, others are less confident. But Richard is always on hand to help.
"Whatever your age, weight or level of experience, anybody can learn to ride" he says. “I try above all to share my love of horses and to make sure every rider is at ease in the saddle. To this end, I ask them all three questions. One : have you ever ridden before? Two : have you ever attended a riding school ? Three : do you know how to ride at a trot? Depending on the reply I choose the appropriate horse.”

Preparations for the ride are underway. The firm slap of leather as the horses are saddled, the chink of stirrups, the gentle whinnying of the mounts, the creak of girths being tightened... Before we leave everyone feels a sense of eager anticipation, keeping in mind Richard's advice.
"Now off we go on our way to new adventures," as Richard loves to say.

We leave at a leisurely pace, moving into a gentle trot when the track widens out. Up on the plateau Richard reins in and gives further advice before we attempt the gallop. For the less experienced there are American saddles available, these with a pommel which helps the rider retain a firm grip on the horse. A canter across the chalk hills is an exhilerating experience. In short, a wonderful ride...
Returning one, two or three hours later overyone is smiling, knowing they have enjoyed a memorable adventure. And it's the same every time !
